EPA’s New Water Sector Cybersecurity Evaluation Program

EPA’s new water sector cybersecurity evaluation program offers a free assessment of cybersecurity gaps or vulnerabilities in the operational technology (OT) used by public water systems (PWSs). It is intended to support a PWS sanitary survey as described in the EPA memorandum, Addressing Public Water System Cybersecurity in Sanitary Surveys or an Alternate Process.

This memorandum applies to PWSs that use OT as part of the equipment or operation of any required component of the sanitary survey. The sanitary surveys of these PWSs must include an evaluation of the OT’s cybersecurity adequacy for producing and distributing safe drinking water.
